(Bhishma) |
Whenever I read something, I tend to just go over it without fully understanding everything that's happening. While I do know the overall plot-line of the story, I can sometimes overlook the important details. One of the main things that surprised me was the telling of how the first son of Shantanu, Devavrata, became Bhishma. I must have overlooked that part of the original Mahabharata because that was definitely news to me.
I really liked viewing the Mahabharata as an animation because it helped me to take the visuals that I had in my head and actually bring them to life.
I enjoyed watching about how Gandhari blindfolded herself for life in order to be equal to her husband, Dhritrasthra. Even though all of Hastinapur was happy for their marriage, Gandhari's brother, Shakuni (the future king of Gandhar).
